Mixon (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, went through a workout Saturday and is trending toward playing "in some capacity" Week 5, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
The running back failed to practice Wednesday through Friday, but he evidently looked good enough during Saturday's workout to have a chance to suit up versus Green Bay. If Mixon avoids the inactive list in advance of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, it's unclear if he would be in line for his usual workload. With that in mind, if Mixon is limited at all, Samaje Perine and Chris Evans would be in store for added backfield work.
